Previously, the increasing COVID-19 curve in Indonesia made the Government prohibit foreigners from entering Indonesia at the beginning of the year until February 8, 2021. This is also a precautionary measure against reports of a mutation of the coronavirus found in the UK. Until now, the government is working hard to prevent these new mutated viruses from entering Indonesia.
